Top 10 real life experiences in Love Undercover by @NanaPrah #Giveaway

Happy Monday, sweeties. Today I have the lovely Nana Prah on my blog sharing the top ten facts about her latest book, Love Undercover. Make her feel welcome. There's also a Gift Card giveaway for one lucky person.

Over to you, Nana...

One
thing that many people don’t know is that Love Undercover is a romance based on
an experience I had. Not the romance part, but the jail aspect. Without further
delay I’d like to present 10 things that happen in Love Undercover that
actually happened to me.

1.My first cellmate was
awesome. We would laugh all the freaking time. We had similar personalities and
loved to have fun. She was a bisexual, but didn’t fancy me. I’m a heterosexual,
but I was like why not? Still laughing about that.

2.I butchered my eyebrows by
attempting to shape them with thread. It was hilarious- even to me

3.I was strip searched after
having a visit (It was not fun in the least)

4.There were some hot guards
in that prison. But unfortunately I had no romantic liaisons with any of them
(damn).

5.Many of the detainees
stories in the book are true. I’ve dramatized them just a tad.

6.Most of what happened to
one of the characters in the novel is what I went through, only I’ve never had
a boob job (darn it).

7.Sarita and I had the same
second cellmate, only there was no fight in real life. The devil part is true,
though- very scary.

8.The library was awesome.
No covert operations for me, even though it does happen in the system.

9.We baked a cake. To this
day I still find it weird, but it’s true.

10.To the best of my knowledge there was no blind spot at the
prison I was detained at. That came from my imagination so I could get some
intimate scenes in there for Sarita and Matt.

So
there you have it. If you have any questions on what else is true in Love
Undercover once you read it, just contact me and I’ll let
you know.

The last thing
she expects is to fall in love with a prison guard…

Hotshot
Secret Service Agent, Sarita Cerez is thrown into a medium security prison—for
work. Her job is to protect the daughter
of the president of South Korea. She never envisioned making friends with
illegal immigrants or falling head over heels for one of the guards. Now the
clandestine activity, which is integral to protecting her charge, may destroy
her only chance at love.

He's never fraternized with the inmates—until he met her…

Matthew Carter always plays by the
rules, which includes maintaining a strictly professional relationship with the
inmates in his charge. But when Sarita saunters onto the unit, all bets are
off. Her status as a deportee with a permanent ticket to Columbia means they
can never be together, but try as he might, this doesn’t stop him from risking
his career for her.

He's a man who values honesty above
all else, and she lies for a living. Can two people from such different worlds
find any common ground?

As inappropriate as the situation
had turned out to be, Sarita was his. At least until she returned to Columbia
in what? A few days? A week? No matter when, she would go. “No wife or
girlfriend to hang out with.”

Her chest deflated with her
released breath. He wished he could have taken her air into himself. I’m screwed. “What about you? Are you
married or have a boyfriend waiting to break you out of here at the first
opportunity?”

Her eyes blazed into his. “Single
as single can be.”

The admission sparked something
deep within him. He had to touch her. Nothing else mattered except having his
fingers glide over her flawless mocha skin. The all-encompassing urge pushed
him to stand.

With a controlled effort he strode
to the area across from the television and leaned against the wall.

On every unit, one spot existed
where neither the cameras nor inmates could see. Management knew about it, but
the cost of adding a third camera would be too expensive for the facility to
contemplate so they left it. At least that’s the story Matt had been told.

He’d never used the spot, but as he
waited for her to join him, he couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.
